Approximately 20,000 whales migrate southward past the center from mid-December to end of January each year. The same number migrate northward, but are distributed throughout mid-March through the first week of June. Gray whales are the most commonly sighted whales year round along the Oregon Coast.
Depoe Bay is the self-proclaimed whale watching capital of the Oregon Coast. The town is home to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Whale Watching Center (whalespoken.org), which is on the seawall and has large windows facing the ocean for prime whale viewing. Depoe Bay is about 100 miles southwest of Portland, Oregon's largest city, and U.S. Highway 101 runs through the center of town. The whales that are visible from Depoe Bay are mostly gray whales, and their spectacular migration can include up to 18,000 animals.
